Eddie McGuire: ‘I got it wrong’

Collingwood president Eddie McGuire admits he “got it wrong” by declaring Monday a “proud day” for the club.

McGuire has come under intense scrutiny for using the term when fronting a press conference addressing a damning report that revealed a culture of “systemic racism” at Collingwood.

He opened the club’s annual general meeting by addressing the controversy.

“I got it wrong. I said it was a proud day for Collingwood, and I shouldn’t have,” McGuire told members, sponsors and fans on Tuesday night.
